I’m Ella, a 14-year-old girl from America. Here are the rules my parents set for me:

●When I get out of school, I must text my mom; once on the school bus, text her again; then call her when I get home.

●Show them everything in my schoolbag (and all tests) every day.

●I shower at 8:00 till 8:30 or they will come in and turn the water off.

●I must be asleep by 10:00 (It’s 3:10 a.m. now). If I'm caught awake they will check on me every two hours to make sure I am asleep.

● I must be downstairs for “family time” for at least two hours every weekend.

●Mom chooses what I wear at all times.

● I must walk the dog with Mom. If I go alone, send a video every ten minutes.

● I must ask permission (準(zhǔn)許) before watching a movie.

● I must ask my mom if I can be friends with someone before becoming friends.

I have to do what they say, or I'll be a disappointment. But the rules make my life really boring. Today I read a poem by Kahlil Gibran, which says:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

...

Is it a good idea to show this poem to my parents tomorrow?

1.How many times must Ella communicate with her mom from school to home?

A. Once. B. Twice.

C. Three times. D. Four times.

2.Ella must finish a shower in ________.

A. 20 minutes B. half an hour

C. 40 minutes D. an hour

3.What must Ella ask permission to do?

A. Go to bed after 10:00.

B. Walk the dog alone.

C. Watch a TV show.

D. Make a new friend.

4.Why does Ella want to show her parents the poem?

A. She wants to tell them the rules are unfair.

B. She hopes they can explain the poem to her.

C. She needs to share a poem for “family time”.

D. She knows they are interested in Kahlil Gibran.

A poor farmer has a friend. One day, his friend gives him a young apple tree and tells him to take it home and plant it.

The farmer is pleased with the gift, but when he gets home, he doesn’t know where to plant it. Finally he plants the tree in the forest where no one can see it. But without sunlight or good soil, the tree will soon die.

Later the friend asks the farmer why he plants the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer says angrily. “If I plant the tree near the road, strangers will steal the fruit. If I plant the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors will come at night and steal some of the apples. If I plant it near my house, my own children will take the fruit.”

“Yes,” says his friend, “but at least someone can enjoy the fruit. Now you not only rob(剝奪) everyone of the fruit, but also you destroy(破壞) a good apple tree.”

1.Where does the farmer plant the tree?

A. In the forest. B. Near his house. C. In his field. D. Near the road.

2.The underlined word “steal” means _________ in Chinese.

A. 買 B. 摘 C. 看見 D. 偷
